If you want to take exactly one individually wrapped syrup waffle with you on King’s Day, check that the waffles really are individually wrapped. A duo contains two waffles, while a bag of mini waffles doesn’t provide a sealed portion per waffle. If two waffles suit you, a duo is a clearly defined option. If you choose a bag, bear in mind how to store it once opened, and always check the current label if you have an allergy.
Want to take one snack with you without opening a large bag? Don’t just look at the number of waffles in the outer pack; check how many are in each wrapper too. Jumbo lists Kanjers in a pack of four duos, with two waffles per portion.
Mini syrup waffles let you decide how many to take from a bag. The packs shown by ALDI, Lidl and PLUS aren’t necessarily individually wrapped portions, so seal the bag well after opening.
If you have a food allergy, read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you buy. Product information from retailers including Jumbo and Albert Heijn lists wheat, milk and soya in certain syrup waffles; ingredients can vary between products.
Suitable if: you want to take two waffles with you for one snack break. Jumbo lists Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels as 4 × 2 pieces.
Consider: a duo isn’t a portion of exactly one waffle.
Suitable if: you want to choose how many small waffles to take. ALDI and PLUS show 300 g bags, while Lidl shows a pack of Sondey mini waffles.
Consider: a bag of mini waffles isn’t the same as individually sealed portions, and needs to be sealed well after opening.
Suitable if: you want to keep some waffles for later. Albert Heijn shows a pack of eight, while PLUS offers a bag of ten Daelmans waffles.
Consider: if you’re having one snack, you’ll have an opened multipack left over.
When choosing syrup waffles for yourself for King’s Day, the key question is whether you want to take one portion with you, minimise leftovers or check the ingredients first.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size and taking them with you | Check how many waffles are in each wrapper and whether they’re individually wrapped. | If I want exactly one waffle while I’m out, I don’t want to have to take a duo or an open bag. A clearly defined portion to take away is the top priority for around 40% of consumers. |
| Leftovers and storage | Compare the number of waffles per pack and read the storage instructions for after opening. | I don’t want to be left with a large open bag after one snack. Minimising leftovers matters most to around 30% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the current packaging. | If I need to avoid an allergen, the ingredients matter more than the portion size. Around 30% of consumers put this check first. |
A small waffle doesn’t tell you anything about the inner packaging. The mini syrup waffles shown by ALDI, Lidl and PLUS are sold in a bag or pack.
If you need one sealed portion, look for a statement or picture on the packaging showing individually wrapped waffles.
An existing product page doesn’t mean you’ll be able to buy the waffles when you want them. Jumbo says one syrup waffle product is no longer available, while a Joybuy listing for another Kanjers variety said it was out of stock.
Check the current range and availability at your chosen retailer shortly before King’s Day.
Syrup waffles from the same brand, or different varieties, don’t necessarily contain the same ingredients. Products checked list ingredients including wheat, milk and soya.
Before buying, read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack of the variety you’ve chosen, even if you already know the brand.
PLUS shows Daelmans in both a 78 g duo pack and a bag of ten syrup waffles.
Albert Heijn shows an own-brand pack of eight butter syrup waffles.
Jumbo shows Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels as four duo portions of two waffles.
Lidl shows Sondey butter syrup waffles and a pack of mini butter syrup waffles.
ALDI shows Biscotto Mini syrup waffles in a 300 g pack, alongside regular syrup waffles in packs of twelve.
PLUS shows its own 300 g mini syrup waffles and also stocks Daelmans duos and bags.
This pack of ten syrup waffles may suit you if you want to take one waffle with you. Check the specific pack to see whether the waffles are individually wrapped if having one sealed portion is essential.

If you want to take one waffle with you and save the rest, check whether this pack does indeed contain individually wrapped waffles. If you have an allergy, always go by the ingredients and allergen information on the current label.
No. A duo contains two waffles, so it’s only suitable if you want to take or eat both together. Jumbo lists Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels as 4 × 2 pieces, not as eight individually wrapped portions.
Check the allergens on the current label of the syrup waffles you’ve chosen. Product information from Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS lists ingredients including wheat, milk and soya in various varieties; some also mention egg or possible traces of nuts.
Store an opened pack in a cool, dry, dark place and seal it well, as advised by the Voedingscentrum. Also follow the storage instructions on the packaging of your syrup waffles.
Check the range and local availability shortly before buying for King’s Day. According to the Rijksoverheid, King’s Day falls on 27 April; a product listing doesn’t tell you whether the syrup waffles will be available at your local shop then.
